One Life Left

Does One Life Left have an SSG this week? A) Yes - it's Chris Read from Fantata, here to talk about Quizzle/Fast Five, amongst other things. B) Yes - it's Clippy, the famous MS Office Assistant, here to discuss his triumphant return as the face of AI. He butt-dialled Simon to ask to be on. C) No. D) Victoria Pendleton. Which of these is covered in the news section by Charlesbot? A) The cost of the...

And, lo, for it is true: One Life Left have our second Super Special Guest in a row on today's show! For we are this day thus joined by Andy Robertson, video game journo and founder of Family Gaming Database, here to talk about Kickstarter hell with Ludoscene which, if you're very quick, you might still have time to back HERE!!! And it is told that should One Life Left get three SSGs in a row then...

Hello and welcome once again, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left. WE HAVE A SUPER SPECIAL GUEST!!! This week we're joined by James Parker of Ground Shatter to talk all about their new game, Knights in Tight Spaces. While I'm linking things, here's another that will take you straight to the KiTS Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2315400/Knights_in_Tight_Spaces/ There's...

Hello and welcome to another episode of One Life Left - the show that doesn't know when to quit!! This week we have PSN going down and some Sony customers over-reacting, Football Manager 2025 getting a red-card and some FM fans over-reacting, Troy Baker beating AI and... nobody over-reacting... I don't think... Meanwhile, here's another reminder that ResonanceFM, our home on the radio waves, are r...

This week the boys have been "down the darts" and "down the football" and generally leaning into their blokeyness in blokey ways but then it's all back to "normal" for another episode of the One Life Left radio show! (This is the podcast edition of the radio show that you're listening to, just in case you didn't know.) This episode we have Simon being performance art and releasing TWO games this w...

Welcome, dearest listeners, to another podcast edition of the One Life Left RADIO SHOW because, first and foremost, it is a radio show on ResonanceFM, our faithful home since neolithic times. ResonanceFM are currently having their fundraiser for 2025 so please check out their fundraising page and help out, if at all possible: https://fundraiser.resonance.fm/ Meanwhile, on this week's episode, Ste'...

This week we start 2025 again because last week was just a practice run. There's Microsoft making more handheld noises, Ubisoft postpone Assassin's Creed Shadows again and is Half Life 3 on the horizon? We also "exclusively" reveal that the Switch 2 will be released on March 3rd which happens to be my birthday making the Switch 2 an ideal, if not perfect, birthday present, hint hint! Meanwhile nex...

Join us as OLL hurtles towards it's 19th year, dearest listener, and for Simon's NYE tale of woe - a Kafkaesque Meta magnum opus if ever there was one! (Listeners on our Discord have already had a brief snippet but hear him tell the full story here without him using any F, S, B or C bombs!) Meanwhile we also have a crazy number of Steam games in 2024, Atari teasing a new handheld, Rockstar have bi...

Thought you'd heard the last from us in 2024, did ya?! Well, you were wrong! Santa's put you on the nice list so here's a bonus episode of OLL just for YOU. This episode was originally broadcast on September 24th this year on the Yogscast Twitch channel as part of Pickaxe Week and has a Super Special Guest in the form of Ozan from Perfectly Paranormal showing off their latest game: The Holy Gosh D...

Hope you're full of festive cheer, dear listeners! We have a Santa's sack full of gaming related goodies for you this week. There's Game Awards bla bla bla, Balatro is still pronounced Balatro, more Game Awards bla bla bla, Ciri grows up, DBrand's cheeky Switch 2 "reveal", Funko Pop kill itch.io and Xbox get into darts! There's also loads of lovely letters to get through and, with a week to go bef...

Welcome to another episode of One Life Left, dearest listeners! This week we have Devolver delays, PS2 sells loads, Xbox fight Google, Slow Game Club and the Lego Bond we nearly got!!! Meanwhile should we be worried that Ste is seeing both his doctor and his dentist in the same week?! Don't forget that Maraoke will be LIVE on the Jingle Jam stream on Twitch on Saturday 7th December at 5pm AND tick...

This week there are flimsy cards, Simon turns 53, Sony attempt another handheld and shadows are important! There's also undercover "journalism" as Ste goes all Cook Report and stalks/hounds/illegally records/chats to (delete as appropriate) Keith Stuart at GaMaYo! Which is also where we had a great time and heard A codename for the Switch 2! But was it the correct codename?! Only time will tell......

Before you ask - no, this is not an Xbox (Hi, Microsoft! Thought you might appreciate us playing along with your latest PR campaign! Send any payments/Xbox goodies to us via the usual email, OK? Ta!) This week, dearest of listeners, we have Overcooked! revelations, Xbox do marketing (see above), Nintendo patrol the high seas for pirates (ah harr!), game "awards" and starter packs? Starter packs!!...

This week we ask the BIG questions: Who is following us on Bluesky? What is a turnip driver? Is a disk drive a dongle?? We also discover AI's weakness, Netflix kill off their interactive shows, the Borderlands movie never happened, Ste shoots all the time in everyday life, Simon has "beef" with "the man" and what exactly is all this UKIE shenanigans, anyway?! We also talk about upcoming appearance...

WARNING: This show contains a brief mention of private body parts that Ste probably still hasn't heard! Shocking! It's OK, though, coz it's related to something glow-in-the-dark that was bought in Blackpool! Oo-er! ANYWAY! SSG klaxon ahoy! This week we are joined by Paul Monaghan who recently interviewed Simon as part of his amazing work collecting games magazine journos and telling their stories...

Isn't it horrible when someone leaves you out of something? Well, dear listeners, this week we discover how a veteran Edge writer has been left out of a new periodical written by veteran Edge writers!!! The injustice!! We also have Charlesbot evolving into something that swears and says "aaah" a lot, the "console arms race" has levelled out and it's Tetris aaaaaaall the way down. Tetris! Plus much...

Hello! Welcome to another episode of One Life Left - the podcast version of the video game radio show that is now "officially" old enough to buy alcohol (in the UK, anyway). This week we have more licence "owning" shenanigans, speculate over top secrets at Nintendo (who have also just invented the alarm clock), Konami get cosy with FIFA, Ste had general anaesthetic AND created a bot while Simon ha...

This week Field Commander Byron starts a war against TIGA (maybe), Ubisoft shares take a nosedive and Nintendo sues on the Daly, amongst many other things, gaming and non-gaming related. Meanwhile I run out of time to write what I wanted to write but, trust me, it was going to be amazing! Don't forget to send us your questions! Send them to us at team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our Discord, leave a...

This week we have Kojima doing his usual, Zelda winning stuff, Kutaragi claims everyone thought PS would fail and do you buy or lease your games?! Does anyone actually know anymore?!? Meanwhile Field Commander Byron went to Spain and Ste continued work apace on the OLL game now known as "Make Diamonds"! Don't forget there's another Maraoke coming up this Friday (4th October) at Loading Stoke Newin...

On the show this week we have more Switch 2 rumours while Nintendo take Palworld to court and Sony pour $400million down the drain at the same time as preparing to celebrate the 30th anniversary of PlayStation. Woo! Meanwhile we have another Maraoke coming up on Friday 4th October at Loading Stoke Newington! Tickets available HERE! Would you like to hear your name read out on the show? Well, you h...

It's Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 2024 as Simon continues his quest for world domination via election to the board of UKIE!! If you're eligible to vote then VOTE SIMON and it'll be drinks for everyone around at Buck House if he gets voted in*! Meanwhile we also ponder how to pronounce Godot, question how many more lamp-posts the PS5 Pro will give us and apologise for the lack of Switch...

We're back with another episode 1! We talk about things, we discuss stuff and we take no prisoners! For any new listeners considering using this episode as a "jumping on" point: Welcome! Come in! Don't let 18 years of vague/near zero "continuity" scare you! Here's a quick, absolutely non-comprehensive, guide to help: - Review scores are always 7/10. Meanwhile, we need suggestions for our appearanc...

This is the last episode of this season - join us next season to find out what happens in the adventures of our intrepid duo! This has been a One Life Left production brought to you by Ste Curran voiced by Steve Kurran and Simon Byron voiced by Bainsy Bainsington. Charlesbot is played by some hamsters in wheels rigged up to a keyboard and a microphone. Technology today, eh? DON'T FORGET there's st...

Well, listeners, this week It Did Not Come Home. Unless your home is in Spain, obviously. Meanwhile Simon goes on stage, Nintendo get scary and Mickey Mouse gets pickpocketed. Plus lots more video game related news and general banter! There's another Maraoke coming up! Where and when?! Friday 2nd August at Loading Peckham! Get your tickets here: https://lu.ma/ax682w5w What Olympic sport would you...

This week we learn that things are going to be "OK" whilst, also, that there is always fear. It's an important life lesson that we probably don't make enough song and dance about. Also, at the point of recording AND of the podcast release of this episode, IT may still be coming home. I mean, IT likely won't but we're in that Schrödinger's Football Championship zone where anything can happen. Howev...
